Disable macro warnings on Citrix
Posted by Jim on December 06, 2001 8:56 AM
If Excel 97 is launched on a Citrix server by activating a file, is it possible to disable the macro warning screen and force macros enabled? I can't control Tools | Options | General settings for other network users. Assume this is an egg before the chicken situation and not possible.
If not, can I make the file unopenable (message "Macros must be enabled..." would be nice) if macros have not been enabled? Thanks for all assistance.

I just found this answer to your question in the Excel.Programming group

Another option is to have one "startup" sheet that's the only one visible, and then, in the WOrkbook_Open event you hide this, and make everything else visible, and do the contrary before close. That way, if the user disables macros he will only get ht startup sheet, and won't be able to work UNLESS he enables macros.
